  • Michael Panaretos in Context
    DOI 10.1515/bz-2019-0007 BZ 2019; 112(3): 899–934 Scott Kennedy Michael Panaretos in context A historiographical study of the chronicle On the emperors of Trebizond Abstract: It has often been said it would be impossible to write the history of the empire of Trebizond (1204–1461) without the terse and often frustratingly la- conic chronicle of the Grand Komnenoi by the protonotarios of Alexios III (1349–1390), Michael Panaretos. While recent scholarship has infinitely en- hanced our knowledge of the world in which Panaretos lived, it has been approx- imately seventy years since a scholar dedicated a historiographical study to the text. This study examines the world that Panaretos wanted posterity to see, ex- amining how his post as imperial secretary and his use of sources shaped his representation of reality, whether that reality was Trebizond’s experience of for- eigners, the reign of Alexios III, or a narrative that showed the superiority of Tre- bizond on the international stage. Finally by scrutinizing Panaretos in this way, this paper also illuminates how modern historians of Trebizond have been led astray by the chronicler, unaware of Panaretos selected material for inclusion for the narratives of his chronicle. Adresse: Dr. Scott Kennedy, Bilkent University, Main Camous, G Building, 24/g, 06800 Bilkent–Ankara, Turkey; [email protected] Established just before the fall of Constantinople in 1204, the empire of Trebi- zond (1204–1461) emerged as a successor state to the Byzantine empire, ulti- mately outlasting its other Byzantine rivals until it fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1461.

  • Du Pont À La Macédoine : Les Grands Monastères Grecs Pontiques Marqueurs Territoriaux D'un Peuple En Diaspora
    Le territoire, lien ou frontière ? Paris, 2-4 octobre 1995 Du Pont à la Macédoine : les grands monastères grecs pontiques marqueurs territoriaux d'un peuple en diaspora Michel BRUNEAU TIDE-CNRS, Bordeaux Les Grecs pontiques constituent au sein de la nation grecque un peuple distinct caractérisé par une identité forte mais non antagonique par rapport à l'identité nationale grecque. A la différence des Crétois ou des Epirotes, par exemple, qui ont aussi leur propre identité ethno- régionale, ils ne vivent pas sur leur territoire d'origine situé en Turquie, mais en diaspora. Au nombre d'environ 800 000 en Grèce, ils se sont installés en Macédoine-Thrace dans des villages ainsi que dans quelques quartiers et banlieues des agglomérations d'Athènes et de Thessalonique. Trente ans après leur installation, qui date de l'échange des populations de 1922- 23, ils ont entrepris la construction en Macédoine de sanctuaires rappelant les grands monastères qui, dans le Pont, leur avaient permis de préserver leur religion, leur langue et leur identité pendant quatre siècles de domination turque. Ces monastères, aujourd'hui au nombre de quatre, sont devenus les points focaux de leur affirmation identitaire qui se manifeste à travers leur iconographie (au sens de J. Gottmann, 1966) tant sur les monuments eux-mêmes que dans les cérémonies et pèlerinages annuels. Avant d'étudier les raisons et les modalités de leur reconstruction en Grèce, il faut comprendre comment et pourquoi ces monastères ont joué dans le territoire d'origine, dans le Pont, un rôle central pour la préservation de cette identité grecque. Les grands monastères du Pont, hauts lieux de l'hellénisme La fondation de ces monastères remonte à la christianisation de l'Asie Mineure, à l'ère byzantine.

    NOSTALGIA, EMOTIONALITY, AND ETHNO-REGIONALISM IN PONTIC PARAKATHI SINGING BY IOANNIS TSEKOURAS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Donna A. Buchanan, Chair Professor Emeritus Thomas Turino Professor Gabriel Solis Professor Maria Todorova ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the multilayered connections between music, emotionality, social and cultural belonging, collective memory, and identity discourse. The ethnographic case study for the examination of all these relations and aspects is the Pontic muhabeti or parakathi. Parakathi refers to a practice of socialization and music making that is designated insider Pontic Greek. It concerns primarily Pontic Greeks or Pontians, the descendants of the 1922 refugees from Black Sea Turkey (Gr. Pontos), and their identity discourse of ethno-regionalism. Parakathi references nightlong sessions of friendly socialization, social drinking, and dialogical participatory singing that take place informally in coffee houses, taverns, and households. Parakathi performances are reputed for their strong Pontic aesthetics, traditional character, rich and aesthetically refined repertoire, and intense emotionality. Singing in parakathi performances emerges spontaneously from verbal socialization and emotional saturation. Singing is described as a confessional expression of deeply personal feelings

  • MESOGEIOS Rustam Shukurov
    ~ MESOGEIOS Rustam Shukurov The Byzantine Turks of the Pontos 1 Mediterranee Traditionally, the relationships between Greeks and Turks in the Pontos histoire, peuples, langues, cultures during Late Byzantine and Early Ottoman times have been regarded in scho­ larly literature as a permanent deadly feud. Modem scholars usually interpret Greek and Turkic cultural elements as two antipodes, utterly hostile to each other. There is no doubt that such attitudes, though being one-sided, allowed to reconstruct in detail the political dimension of the Turkish-Greek relation­ ship, many aspects of ethnic, religious and cultural contest between two cul­ tures. At the same time, one must bear in mind that the basing of our modem explanation of medieval life in Anatolia on the later doctrines of Turkish­ Greek mutual negativism is hardly reasonable and even hazardous. From our knowledge of the conflicts of the Empire of Trebizond with the Muslims, we know surprisingly little about the peaceful forms of their mutual relations. However, war represents a crises in relations, a relatively short inter­ val in a long period of peaceful coexistence. It is obvious that permanent hos­ REVUE PUBUEE tility cannot benefit either party, and there undoubtedly existed some forms of AVEC LE CONCOURS peaceful relations between Turks and Greeks 2. However, these possible DU CENTRE NATIONAL DU UVRE Greek-Turkish daily contacts in the Pontos remain obscure for us. The present research is a development of those methods and ideas, which has been elaborated by the author of these lines in a number of studies, both published and forthcoming, dealing with the role of Eastern 3, and, especially, 6 (1999) Turkic ethnic groups in everyday life of the Empire of Trebizond 4.

  • Trebizond) and Its Vicinity in the Xix
    THE EVALUATION OF SOME CLAIMS OF WESTERN TRAVELERS AND RESEARCHERS ABOUT THE CRYPTO-CHRISTIONS IN TRABZON (TREBIZOND) AND ITS VICINITY IN THE XIX. CENTURY AYŞEGÜL KUŞ* Introduction The Black Sea region has been an important place for many nations to establish domination throughout the history due to its geo-strategic location. It is kown that the Black Sea region was inhabited by several tribes even before the historic periods.1 The oldest tribe known to have settled in the region in the mid of the XVI. century is Gashkas.2 The following tribe Cimmerians around 695 B.C captured the arae between Black Sea Ereğli (Pontos Heraclia) and Trabzon (Trebizond). However, they could not resist agains the İskit pressure and had to move to Crimea and its neighbourhood.34 In addition, according to the Georgion sources recorded in IV. B.C. the Kipchaks on the banks of Çoruh (Hapsoros) are claimed to have emigrated to the region along with the Scythians It is claimed that the tribes who had settled in the eastern Black Sea and had a kinship with the Turks are Cimmerians and Scythians. Furthermore, it is stressed that although there have been diff erent opinions regarding the origins of these tribes, there is strong evidence that they are included in the Turkish cultural circle.5 * Dr., Ondokuz Mayıs University, Faculty of Education, Samsun/TURKEY, [email protected] 1 İ.

  • The Empire of Trebizond and the Pontos, 13Th – 15Th Centuries 1
    Annika Asp-Talwar, University of Birmingham Research project overview for the workshop: ‘Dynamic Middle Ages’, in Moscow, 1.-6. 10. 2012 Draft for workshop purposes only – do not cite or quote without permission from the author The empire of Trebizond and the Pontos, 13th – 15th centuries 1. Historical framework The Empire of Trebizond comprises the area surrounding the modern day city of Trabzon on the south eastern Black Sea Coast in Turkey. It provides a unique case study of a Byzantine successor state that remained virtually independent through its existence, whilst it also offers a case study of a late medieval small state in the territories that (formerly) belonged to the Byzantine empire. History of the empire The empire of Trebizond was founded in 1204, at the time of the foundation of the Latin Empire in Constantinople as a consequence of the Fourth Crusade. The exact course of the foundation process for the empire of Trebizond has been largely debated without clear consensus, but it is evident that during the first years of its existence, the empire formed one of the three successor states to the Byzantine empire, challenging the remaining two, namely the Empire of Nicaea and the Despotate of Epirus. The founders of the empire were Alexios and David Komnenos, grandchildren of the Byzantine emperor Andronikos I Komnenos (r. 1183-5), of whom Alexios became the first emperor of Trebizond (r. 1204-1222). The foundation of the empire was greatly facilitated by Queen Thamar I of Georgia, the maternal aunt of Alexios and David, but the empire did not become part of Thamar’s territories, but an independent region that developed into a state that called itself an empire.

    Of Conspiracies and Men: The Politics of Evil in Turkey A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Murat Altun IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Associate Professor Hoon Song, Adviser August 2016 © Murat Altun 2016 Acknowledgements This project was generously funded by the Interdisciplinary Doctoral Fellowship at the University of Minnesota. Initial fieldwork was also funded by the University of Minnesota Graduate Research Partnership Program and the Anthropology department’s summer research grants. I am greatly indebted to everyone in the village of Livera (Yazlık), Maçka for facilitating my fieldwork and providing an inspirational environment during my time in Trabzon, Turkey. Without late İlyas Karagöz’s support and sharing of his personal library, the Maçka history part of my research would not be possible. I am especially thankful to the late Şakir Albayrak, Okan Mısır, and Hayrettin İshak Karagöz, without whom I would not have compiled the Kalandar folklore data. My dissertation committee has provided constant support and consistently encouraged me to think in new directions. Since my first year at University of Minnesota, Hoon Song has been an inspiring intellectual and has guided me to learn more, not only about anthropological theory, but also political philosophy. Stuart McLean has also been a source of constant inspiration and new perspectives, especially in regards to Balkan and Greek folklore. Jean Langford’s insights into cultural memory, mourning and ritual have greatly shaped the directions of this study. And Giancarlo Casale, the fellow subject of Ottoman realm, has always been the engaged reader of the drafts of this dissertation.
